DMC 1000 Digital Media Camcorder User’s Guide (v4.0) 15
Chapter 1 - Introduction
1.2.5 Ultimate connectivity
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder connects using both traditional and IT interfaces.
Traditional inputs and outputs include BNC connectors for (HD-)SDI, CVBS, Time Code, AES
digital audio and XLRs for analog audio. The camcorder comes with three USB 2.0 connectors
(two hosts and one device), one IEEE 1394 connector and a HDMI display connector. It can
also connect to an external storage device (such as a hard drive or flash memory stick) via
USB. The Gigabit Ethernet port provides compatibility with the C2IP camera control system.
1.2.6 User interface
Camcorder operators can manipulate the camcorder through traditional controls for standard
operation and through a touch screen display. The built-in user interface supports video
monitoring, clip management, audio setup and metering, and detailed camcorder
configuration.
You can also use the LCP 400 wireless application to control the camcorder. Running on a
Windows Mobile PDA or TouchPhone, it gives you access to all camera menus and settings —
and lets you change them while shooting. It displays audio levels and, thanks to its low
latency, lets you make critical adjustments to e.g. audio parameters. You can create and edit
metadata such as names, dates, slugs, locations and even camera settings before, during or
after recording.
1.2.7 Enhancing your workflows
The Infinity Digital Media Camcorder enhances your existing workflow today, while allowing
you to move to more efficient IT workflows in the future. You can use the camcorder’s storage
media just like videotape in tape-based workflows. The only difference is that you use digital
media recorders and digital media drives as tape machine substitutes. However, Infinity Series
products offer more than videotape replacement. In nonlinear editing environments, for
example, you can also connect a REV PRO drive or CompactFlash card reader to a workstation
for direct access and low cost.
